Hello Students! Read this Article and Learn Some Vocabulary and Phrases :)

Dani L.

Hello everyone!

 

I’m Dani L., and I had previously taught on Cafetalk for 6 years before I went on hiatus.

 

I’ve been away from teaching for a few years now, and boy, what a ride! Life has a way of surprising us, no matter how hard we try to stay in control of it.

 

Whatever life brings, one thing that is consistent for me is that I’m deeply passionate about learning and teaching, which is why I’m back.

 

I believe one way to stay young is to never stop learning. Life is full of so many joys, wonders, and fascinating topics to learn about.

 

If you’re keen to learn English with someone who believes in the joy of life, give my lessons a try! I currently have a discount on my “Coffee Date with Dani L.” lesson.

 

See you in class!

 

Dani L.
